[Help] F2-424 - Cannot Initialize - Not found by network

Hi, I'm trying to setup a brand new TerraMaster F2-424.
I installed 2x Seagate IronWolf 4TB drives + 2x WD SD850x NVMe drives.

After connecting the NAS to my network and power, it powers on and beeps once. The 2 HDDs spin up, the lights go green and solid. The network port in the back has a solid orange and flashing green light.

I tried with my PC, my MacBook and my mobile phone using TNAS software (latest). None are able to detect the NAS attached to my network. I uninstalled all 4 drives and tried again. Same issue.

My router is a Google Wifi 6. I have the NAS connected directly to the main unit.

'http://tnas.local' also fails, says the Site Cannot be Reached.

Any ideas?

You don't mention installing the TOS operating system. :?: :idea:

Please start the F2-424 without installing any disk. Pay attention to whether there are three consecutive beeps within 1-3 minutes after the first beep. Before starting, please connect an HDMI display to observe the details of the startup process.

I also had an issue with the Google Wifi router blocking local discovery.

Hello, could you please describe your issue in detail?

NAS itself does not support WiFi functionality and requires a wireless network card to enable it.
